Your Journey to the Nations
Steve Hoke
Steve Hoke

Growing up as a missionary kid in Tokyo, Japan, Steve Hoke committed to lifelong involvement in world evangelization at a young age. Through college, several church ministries, and grad school, he realized his gifting was as an encourager and teacher. In serving as a missions professor and director of campus ministries at Seattle Pacific University, director of field training for World Vision International, president of LIFE Ministries (Japan), and then as vice president of training of Church Resource Ministries (CRM), his gift mix has been confirmed. He is a Barnabas, not a barnstorming church planter like Paul.

Steve’s passion is to help raise up the next generation of mission leaders from churches across North America and the world, and to see that they are effective in their roles as intercultural servant-leaders.

Format: Paperback
This hands-on workbook has been designed for two kinds of people: those who have a deep desire to serve God overseas and those who want to help them. It has not been designed to persuade people to become missionaries. Rather, it assumes an initial interest—an early indication or drive somewhere inside that God may have more for you than you previously thought. It is aimed at two primary readers: college/university students and young career persons, as well as committed older adults facing the challenge of an early retirement or career change.

The information this workbook presents will also help churches, campus groups, schools, missionary training centers, and agencies to think and pray through short-term and long­term plans with those responding to God's call.

  • What could be more electrifying than keen guidance about the maximum role God has for you? Two outstanding authors lift this book above all others on this issue.
    — Ralph Winter, U.S. Center for World Missions
  • We want the world to know Jesus, but how? Here’s a book to show the way. It sparkles, it encourages, it informs, and it makes the steps to get there not so impossible to take. You can make a difference, and this book can be a pivotable part!
    — Patrick Johnstone, WEC InternationalAuthor, Operation World
  • I meet people all over the world who are volunteers to go—praise God! Here is a book that will help them get there.
    — George Verwer, President, Operation Mobilization
